A Traditional Chinese Herb to Support the Liver and Stomach



Plum Flower

Chinese Plum Flower is known for its ability to regulate stagnant chi in the liver, stomach and lungs. The flower comes from the Chinese plum tree, which is found in Asia and typically blooms in late winter. As an herb that has a neutral quality, it is suitable for those with both yang and yin constitutions. The flower is especially suitable for drinking during springtime, as it can assist with detoxification. Conditions that are associated with this herb include mood swings, indigestion, depression, phlegm, and irritability.

The simplest way to use this flower is to infuse one teaspoon into hot water, steeping for 2-3 min to make a tea. Avoid steeping for too long, as this may cause your tea to become bitter.
